Submitted by:
Councillor F. Warfield
Responsibility:
RTFB Meeting Administration

"Recognising that the Orwell Shops are privately owned, this motion calls on South Dublin County Council to explore potential ways we can provide additional wheelchair car spaces for drivers in need of wheelchair parking. Prior to carrying out that research, this motion asks South Dublin County Council to write on behalf of elected representatives requesting that the management company provide this service."

Questions

"The Kiltipper Ramblers and the Glenasmole Pure group are each working on a mile of the Dublin mountains to keep it as beautiful as nature intended.  A recent tour of the area showed dumped tyres, scorched earth from wire burning and a couple of deer carcasses partially wrapped in plastic along with other dumping.  Please outline what dedicated supports are available to the communities in their endeavours?"

Qu (2)

Councillor D. O'Donovan
Responsibility:

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That the Chief Executive undertakes to deal with the overgrown hedgerows and undergrowth at the rear of the Delaford Estate where it meets with Knocklyon Heights.  Numerous representations have been made in relation to this area and now the situation has become so serious that there is a rat infestation in the area, which is obviously a major concern for elderly residents and those with young children."

Mot (3)
Submitted by:
Councillor F. Warfield
Responsibility:
Leo Magee

"Given the time consuming nature of maintenance in Templeogue Cemetery, this motion calls on South Dublin County Council to commit greater priority and regular attention to the burial ground, with a commitment to schedule works every five weeks, rather than every six, as is currently the case."

Mot (4)
Submitted by:
Councillor P. Foley
Responsibility:
Mary Keenan

"Can the strategy for tree pruning and removal for 2016 be clarified?  From one source I have been told that that a list will be produced in November/December with the trees that need pruning and removal in 2016.  Another source has said that the plan is to move away from pruning individual trees on a once off basis to pruning entire roads or estates."

Environment

Questions

Qu (3)
Submitted by:
Councillor S. Holland
Responsibility:
Leo Magee

"To ask the Chief Executive to investigate the possibility of having a litter bin installed at bus stop number 6335 on Ballycullen Road, which serves the number 15 towards Clongriffin.  There is a problem with littering which has been reported by a resident. I have a map of the stop if needed?"

Qu (4)
Submitted by:
Councillor F. Warfield
Responsibility:
Leo Magee

"To ask the Chief Executive for information on the 17 roundabouts in South Dublin County Council being offered for sponsorship to private business?"

"That the urgency of works to the River Poddle in the Templeogue area be recognised and that South Dublin County Council take immediate action to ensure that building works are not disrupting the Poddle."

Mot (6)
Submitted by:
Councillor S. Holland
Responsibility:
Tom Moyne

"Following a tour of Friarstown and Piperstown, I would like to request that a stream on the Upper Cunard Road is diverted away from the roadside.  It is currently being used to cool copper wire - the plastic is being stripped and burned off the wire at this site which provides access to a quick getaway and it would deter those responsible if the stream were not available to cool it." 

Mot (7)
Submitted by:
Councillor D. Looney
Responsibility:
Gabrielle McGee

"That this Committee expresses its concern with further pollution in the River Poddle; that a full report is given on the recent pollution incident; and that an update is provided on pollution protection and flood alleviation works."

Submitted by:
Councillor S. Holland
Responsibility:
Rosaleen Dwyer

"Rhododendron is an invasive species which unfortunately has taken hold in the Dublin Mountains (photos available).  Since the National Parks and Wildlife Service cut the Rhododendron culling project, it falls to local authorities to try to curb this.  Left unchecked it could destroy the common grazing grounds (Rhododendron spreads easily as it is toxic to grazing animals and has therefore got an advantage over native plants).  Please advise on what we can do to combat it."

"That the Chief Executive arranges to have proper drainage works carried out at the junction of Butterfield Ave with Marian Road.  At times of heavy rain, the road is flooded making it impossible for elderly residents to cross at the pedestrian crossing."

"There are loose manholes along the Grange Road, particularly at the entrance to Aranleigh, which result in clattering every time a car goes over them.  This is particularly noticeable at night.  I raised this with Irish Water who referred it back to roads. Can we rectify this?"

Submitted by:
Councillor R. McMahon
Responsibility:

Following on from the motion passed (Item 44783) at our Sept meeting regarding the installation of Cattle Grids at Cunard, Glenasmole and the update received regarding the impossibility to installing them. I further request the Council to reconsider based on support from locals and cycling clubs using the area.

Mot (12)
Submitted by:
Councillor D. O'Donovan
Responsibility:
Tony O Grady

"That the Chief Executive undertakes to upgrade the path between the old entrance into Knockcullen/Ashton Estate and the petrol station on the Knocklyon Road. This is a particularly precarious stretch of path, especially for parents with small children and buggies."
